Barnes & Noble released its new, 8 GB tablet Nook tablet today. It's on sale right now for $199, and comes with the same features as the bigger, 16 GB model.

The 8 GB model is aesthetically the same as the previous model, but is cheaper and divides its memory differently, with 1 GB of the available 5 GB dedicated to Nook Store content. The 8 GB model comes with half the RAM with 512 MB instead of the 16 GB model's 1 GB. Barnes & Noble also dropped the price on its Nook Color to $169. Both are available right now in the Barnes & Noble store.
